I took this photo prior to COVID-19, so it isn’t new. It’s been waiting on my hard drive for its turn to shine. What I like about this photo is the demonstration of speed/movement, since Manhattan is always in motion.
Steelers vs Jets
Here is my set of photos from today’s game at Acrisure Stadium.
NY Waterfalls
Here is another photo from Taughannock Falls. This is a zoomed in version of the top of the falls.

Here is a photo I look last weekend in the Finger Lakes area of New York. This is a wonderful State Park with this large waterfall.
Oculus
This is the Oculus at the site of the World Trade Center memorial in Manhattan. I tried to capture this building from every angle and perspective. What do you think of the One World Trade Center in the upper right corner of the photo?
Steelers at Bills
I had a great little road trip to Buffalo last weekend. I drove up Sunday afternoon and arrived in time to photograph the Sunday Night Football game. Afterwards, I crashed at a hotel and then drove back first thing Monday morning. I was up and back in less than 24 hours.
It was a cold, but not freezing night, with some light flurries in the first half of the game. The Steelers didn’t play well, and the Bills took advantage of that to capture the win. If we’re all honest about it, the Bills are a very good, maybe great, team. Here is a small sample of the 5,000+ that I took before, during and after the game.

Tonight’s post is from our last trip to NYC. As part of the trip, MJ and I were in Manhattan towards the end of July. Every time we go to NYC, I have a great time. On this night, we went to a rooftop bar near Times Square to grab a drink, some food and great sunset photos.

Looking Up
I don’t know about you, but my life has been very busy over the last couple of years. And know it has gotten worse lately, for the obvious reasons. I love photography and sharing my photos/thoughts with you on this blog. But it can be tough at times to keep this updated. With that said, here is a photo for you and a very short narrative.
This is another photo from the Vessel in the Hudson Yards area of Manhattan. This is from the inside looking up.

As weird as this sounds, I can’t remember where I took this photo. It is either Rickets Glen State Park in central Pennsylvania or it is from Watkins Glen State Park in the State of New York. I was taking water fall photos in both places the same weekend and I’ve lost track. How sad is that??? My memory is getting really bad.

Flatiron Building
During our last visit to NYC, MJ and I walked all over Manhattan. Honestly, we covered a lot of ground and hit up some great spots. The Flatiron Building is one of my favorite buildings in the city. I’ve captured it from numerous angles and have visited it a couple of different times. I don’t think it gets enough credit among the world’s greatest buildings.

Watkins Glen State Park
Today’s photo is from Watkins Glen State Park in New York State. This is a very unique state park with a Gorge Trail running down the middle of the park. This trail has a number of wonderful waterfalls, like this one.

Watkins Glenn 2
Very busy week at work this week. So I am posting this picture from my hike at Watkins Glenn in September. That’s it….. Have a great week.
HDR Final Image
Here is a “behind the lens” picture of this setting. You can see my camera setup for the photo above.
Chittenango Falls
This 167-foot waterfall cascades over roughly 400 million year old bedrock after flowing down the Chittenango Creek. This waterfall sits inside the Chittenango Falls State Park in Madison County, New York.
This was another of the State parks I visited on my way to Canada. It was a very nice spot that I enjoyed by myself.

This is a 7-exposure HDR picture of the lower Taughannock Falls in Taughannock Falls State Park in New York State. This is one of the state parks I visited on my way to Canada.

Watkins Glen State Park
As you’ve probably noticed, I was absent for the last week or so. I was traveling and didn’t have great Internet access (not to mention, I was just busy having fun). I started out last weekend by jumping from one state park to another. I started by going to Ricketts Glen State Park in Pennsylvania and then went to a few others in New York State on my way to Canada. Visiting these parks wasn’t planned, but I realized I had some free time to myself before I had to be in Canada, so I took advantage of it. One of the parks I visited in NY was Watkins Glen State Park.
This was my first visit to the Finger Lakes area and I have to admit it is wonderful. My friend and mentor (Mary Ann Eldred) tried to talk me into visiting this area years ago. She claimed it was nice. Like all her other advice over the years, she was completely accurate. Watkins Glen State Park has a wonderful trail through the gorge taking you past a few wonderful spots like the one in this picture. I started at the bottom and walked up all 800+ steps.
Combined, I think I hiked around 15 miles in those two days. That doesn’t seem like much, but when you consider the ups and downs of the gorge trails in the foothills of Appalachian Mountains…15 miles was a lot.
Anyway, at the end of Monday, I ended my travels in Brockville Canada…by the way, this area along the St. Lawrence River was beautiful as well. Just amazing views everywhere we went. I met up with some diving friends from Michigan and we spent the rest of the week shipwreck scuba diving in Lake Ontario and in the St. Lawrence River. Most of the dives were in the river. This is difficult diving… the best way I can describe it would be to compare it to white water rafting…. Except we were deep underwater, it was dark, you couldn’t see (low visibility, maybe 15 feet if we were lucky) and the objects (like boulders the size of trucks) come at you very fast as the current pushes you downstream really really fast. I had a great time, but this type of scuba diving isn’t for the faint of heart.
The trip provided some heart pounding activities, beautiful locations, wonderful story telling, good food and lots of laughs. Big thanks to Steve, Scott, Kyle, Larry and Tom for making the week lots of fun.

I have something a little different for you tonight. Here is a picture of New York Mets’ pitcher during his full pitching motion. I took this last Thursday night when the Mets were in Pittsburgh playing the Pirates.
I like how you can see the baseball in three spots during his motion if you look closely.

Times Square
In honor of the Super Bowl outside of New York City tonight, I am posting this picture from Times Square. I took this 7 exposure auto-bracketed HDR image at around 1am in the morning last August. Even at that hour, it was a very busy place. Enjoy the game tonight.
